...political party, was out to get him and his fellow attorneys--and using the police to do it. Al-Zubaidi said he had been told by reliable witnesses that Ministry of Interior vehicles were used in the kidnap and execution of his fellow defense attorney Saadoun al-Janabi on Oct. 20. The Iraqi government and the Badr Corps both deny any involvement in the kidnapping. But al-Zubaidi cited his suspicions as the reason he refused an offer by the Iraqi government to move to a house inside the secured Green Zone. "Tell me, who is in the Green Zone...
